Sydney Street Talent
To avoid confusion, "Street Talent" is not referring to talented street tiles, instead, I'm talking about the great buskers of Sydney. There are several famous ones in the city who are spied upon very often. Pitt Street Mall is a definite hot spot for finding the best, the worst and the most X-factor worthy.
Picture Drawing Guy
This guy is pretty impressive. He replicates famous works of art on a large canvas while people watch. He's probably been featured on Totally Wild or something because I see him constantly.
I wonder what inspires him to do this. There wasn't much money in his baskets, so perhaps he is a true artist. Or maybe replicates the signature as well, then sells them to naive lottery winners for a fortune.
The Homeless Man With A Guitar At Wynyard
I don't have a picture of THMWAGAW but he must be a high school music teacher as he severely devoid of ability. He just sort of puts on the guitar and takes it off again. He plays every so often but I don't really have the improper functioning of my legs to be able to stay to listen. I admire that he puts in an effort to make some money, unlike the homeless man around the corner. That man's sign reads "Please give me some money so I don't have to resort to CRIMINAL ACTIVITY". No joke, bold and all.
The Immobile Donkey Busker
This donkey angers me to no end. The photo challenge is still open to get a shot of him being fed something. Donkey Busker just stands there bobbing his head down and up again every so often and he expects money for it. If I knew that was something I could be paid for, I wouldn't have been doing it for free all these years. I assume he had quaint beginnings in the donkey community until he decided to take his act to a whole new species.
Maybe I'm just bitter that I didn't think of the idea first.
The Blind Woman Who Sings Opera At Central Station
Walking through the tunnel leading from Broadway to Central Station is like searching for a good radio station. Beat-boxers, didgereedoos, balding men on acoustic guitars.. all fade in and fade out as you walk on by. Eventually, it leads to this blind woman whose voice stands out more than other buskers. Apparently she has also made appearances in Pitt Street Mall and is also known to board trains and sing down the aisles.
This Guy
He balances a milk crate on his head while playing the guitar. He's clearly a nuisance, just look at how he's distracting those girls wearing yellow bulletin boards from doing their job.
